摘要: We studied the free precession of nuclear magnetization hyperpolarized 129Xe gas in external magnetic fields as low B0 = 4.5 nT, using SQUIDs flux detectors. The transverse relaxation was mainly caused by restricted diffusion 129Xe presence ambient field gradients. Its pressure dependence measured range from 30 mbar to 850 mbar and compared quantitatively theory. Motional narrowing observed at pressure, yielding relaxation times up 8000 s.
